OK, this is for Michael Moore, who just can't seem to get his gargantuan head around this concept:

To misstate: To speak an untruth.

To lie: To knowingly speak an untruth.

It has been clearly substantiated that the President was given plenty of intel and a firm assurance from George Tenet (a Clinton appointee, I might mention) of WMDs in Iraq. Whether Dubya committed a misstatement has yet to be fully proven or disproven, but to say that he has lied is ludicrous. If President Bush is a liar on these counts...what does that make Senator Kerry, who saw the same evidence as the President, and voted likewise to wage war on Iraq?
